Edouard Manet

Edouard Manet, the third on the list
a French artist,
called Post-impressionist.
He painted and printed
thousands or more
his "Young lady with bird"
looked like a chore.
Dark in tone, influenced by masters
he painted the people
and sometimes disasters.
An execution, a picnic, a bar, and some flowers
rowboats and musicians, and women on towers
A few of the many
motifs that he rendered
he flattened the space
until realism surrendered
his late work turned somber
and reflexive in tone
Until when he saw it
he let out a moan
and then Manet
with his paintbrush in hand
dropped and joined
the grand ole dead artist band.
